My electronics knowledge is a bit, err, limited, so I've got one quick question. I need to test the points in my Wii (without a chip installed - it's a long story) to see if my "repair" of a few points went ok (see here: http://psx-scene.com/forums/cyclowiz/54211...-sticky-me.html ).
However, I'm always confused a little by multimeters. Firstly, which setting(s) should I have it on? Mainly I'm checking the connection between the solder points and the legs of the DVD drive chip, and also for bridging between each of the points. Secondly, if there is any connection at all thanks to my repairs, how do I find out if the connection is good enough (ie. has a low level of resistance)?
It seemed a whole lot simpler when I was back in school and had to make a simple continuity tester with a little LED that lights up
